Todd, I too was a FIG agent for years and went indy last year. I also had new clients over the years that went exactly the way yours did, congrats and he should be a client for years. The problem and why ultimately I left (2900 PIF) was because there just far and few inbetween that we were so uncompetitive. Our agency as it grew became a service agency and although increasing marketing budget every year, as a business it just did not make sense for me anyway to not have more than one choice.
Exactly. Also; it was our findings that the "Farmers brand: did almost nothing for us - its OUR marketing program that built us. With no choices you're entire life is at ther mercy of Farmers. Once they decide they're done growing for a period of time you just die on the vine with nothing to run to.
